Lol. Google's absolute insistence that you must want local language results has been a pain in the ass for years.

It's impossible for them to understand. Clearly they have zero people working and living in countries other than their own. /s

Oh dear God, no. Don't need Google to have even more control. Imagine blocking something and it shows up anyway because Google decided so.

Oh wait, you don't have to imagine, just use Gmail on Android. "Spam? That's not spam" - Google.

Or just Android with it's fucking "notifications" from all the garbage news sites. Tbf, my fault for using Google apps.

Honestly, blocking shit you don't want to see locally is the best solution. Decentralized, under your control, no need to trust BigCorp number 294.

Why don't they just sell in Euro/USD? That's what people did a few decades ago a bit further north, when the local currency wasn't trusted (even if it was rather stable).

But yeah, inflation in Eastern Europe is pretty bad, and if you voted for a bunch of dumb assholes who don't care about you or the nation, you're multifucked.

HN has more Apple "fans" than "haters". And they will downvote anything bad about Apple lol

More shit to buy, more shit to read and watch, more shit to eat. More, more, more.

People telling you you can get more, you should get more, you should want more.

People pushing you to do more, in life, at work, push yourself to the limit and burn, we all want more.

Just use and do as much as possible and then abruptly die, like a fucking idiot.

They also force this behaviour on Chrome and (I'm pretty sure) Firefox.

Used to be, Firefox would show previously visited sites/pages (arranged by how often you visit them) first.

Now it loads Google search results first and I very often step into them like it's some dogshit on the ground.

I don't know that's why I'm asking.

Every comparison I've seen was cost saving for the datacenter.

Is it cheaper for the end user? If not, what's the point of using ARM over x86 besides ideological reasons?

Don't worry, other lives will end before mine.

Yeah, you'd think so. I thought so. But I can't get myself to die. After death, there's nothing.

And I understand now why some people say it's terrifying. Between decades of suffering or eternity of nothing, what would you choose?

Don't half ass the answer, go on a bridge with a heavy backpack zip tied to yourself, put a loaded gun to your head or have a fistful of TCA pills in your hand, whatever, then answer it.

I don't want to live, but I ain't keen on dying either, to paraphrase Robbie Williams.

I really wouldn't mind being killed by something out of my control, though.

On a related note, this always trickles down to low level managers who then proceed to tell it to the floor workers.

Trying to motivate a cleaner, assembly operative, driver, cashier, warehouse operative, packer and other low level workers with it is like telling them to go fuck themselves.

It sounds like bullshit. It is bullshit. No one fucking loves these jobs. There's nothing to aspire to. Working hard means just killing yourself faster (but not fast enough).

Well, yeah, the thinking is left to you and the software.

Why not build the CNC router? It's a surprisingly simple machine, you could build one of any size yourself. There's even open source firmware and designs around. Bonus points for making it double as a laser etcher/cutter :D

Is that how it would be? So, like AMD and ATi? Damn, that's kind of sad.

This is really interesting! What about applicants who didn't go through a bootcamp, but have decent projects on their website/Github/whatever? Is it the fact that you can't verify if they actually built that themselves or just copied/stole it?

Some people on Reddit did say they completed 2-3 month bootcamps/courses with no prior experience and got junior dev jobs (in the UK), so I don't even know. Then again it's online and on Reddit, so they may be just lying.

I believe it is possible to learn enough to be decent in 3 months full time, and then learn everything else as you go. However, I don't see anyone hiring with that kind of experience.

But then why pay for a certificate? Four figures, no less. You could go through a bunch of free programming courses in 3 months and print your own certificate, same thing as long as you can actually do a job...

The AirPods seemed pretty ground breaking. Afaik, Apple was the first to release such earphones.

And people buy their stuff, so they're doing something right (mostly marketing heh).

I've been looking at the Magic Trackpad, which is pretty niche and doesn't get much attention.

Sadly, I think many people get it, they just don't care.
